Killer Karaoke's STEVE-O is at StarDome April 5-7!

Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) has become a household name and it all started when he snatched a video camera from his father's closet when he was fifteen years old. From there he started producing homemade skateboarding videos featuring dangerous stunts mixed with comical behavior.

He was born in London and by the age of twelve, had lived in five countries and communicated fluently in three different languages. He holds citizenship in three countries - the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

After finishing high school in London, and completing a year at the University of Miami, Steve-O realized that college wasn't for him. He enrolled in Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College to help further his goal of becoming a professional stuntman. After graduating Clown College, and determined to make it in Hollywood, he began to pitch his home videos to producers.

Eventually, Steve-O's videos made it into the hands of Jeff Tremaine (Jackass Creator/Director/Producer) who was working with Johnny Knoxville to create a stunt based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000. In 2001, Steve-O launched his own "Steve-O Don't Try This At Home Tour", establishing himself as an accomplished stage performer, at venues throughout the U.S. and in a dozen countries.

When the JACKASS TV series ended in 2002, the team moved on to JACKASS: THE MOVIE, released by Paramount in October of that year. Shortly thereafter, Steve-O and fellow JACKASS alum, Chris Pontius, were given a spin-off show entitled WILDBOYZ, which aired on MTV and MTV2 and lasted four seasons. In 2006, Paramount released JACKASS: NUMBER 2 in theatres and Steve-O continued to thrill audiences with his outrageous stunts.

In 2009 he competed on ABC's hit show, DANCING WITH THE STARS, and lasted six weeks, despite an injury and having virtually no dancing ability whatsoever.

Last year, Steve-O returned for the Paramount franchise in JACKASS 3D which turned out to be a huge hit at the box office for the third installment with JACKASS 3.5 soon out on DVD.

In the months leading up to the release of JACKASS 3D he immersed himself in standup comedy, which had been a part-time hobby during the previous four years. Successful performances at prestigious comedy venues such as LA's Laugh Factory and New York City's Comedy Cellar led to his current tour performing standup, stunts and bar-tricks across North America and abroad, which he dubbed "Steve-O's Entirely Too Much Information Tour." He has dates booked through the year.

Next up, Steve-O will release his autobiography, Professional Idiot: A Memoir, with publisher Hyperion Books releasing on June 7th of this year.

Most importantly, however, Steve-O has been clean and sober since March of 2008 and lives a healthy, vegan lifestyle in the Los Angeles area...but he still has no problem stapling his balls to his leg.

Suzanne Westenhoefer..ONE NIGHT ONLY March 12!


What words best describe Comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer? How about bold, bawdy, and just plain hilarious? Not afraid to ask tough questions that uncover the laughs underneath, Suzanne’s made a career out of telling the truth. And the truth is, life is funny. Suzanne Westenhoefer is the reigning shtick chick worth noting. Her individual style and unique sense of self set the stage for all walks of life – young, old, gay, straight, lesbian, bi, and every descriptor imaginable in between.

It all started when Suzanne Westenhoefer was dared to enter a comedy contest at a cabaret, and though she had never done stand-up before, she won. She quickly became popular as “the gay girl in straight clubs” performing stand-up between acting assignments.

While performing in a comedy club in 1991, Suzanne was approached by the Sally Jesse Raphael talk show asking her to be on the episode “Lesbians Who Don’t Look Like Lesbians.” Westenhoefer appeared and came out on national television (thus prompting her mother to remarry and get rid of that last name!) The unique Westenhoefer brand of humor has been in wide demand ever since. Suzanne Westenhoefer has appeared on Comedy Central, and such shows as Evening at the Improv, Caroline’s Comedy Hour, and Politically Incorrect.

After playing at theatres, clubs, and colleges internationally, Suzanne starred in her own HBO comedy special, which was nominated for a Cable ACE award. Suzanne does over 100 live comedy dates a year, in addition to her film and television work. While she often performs in large theatres, she loves returning to the comedy clubs where she got her start.

Guaranteed Fresh, her third comedy cd is a solid offering that covers the usual ground of relationships but also the fascination some gay women have with home renovation. Nothing In My Closet But Clothes, her debut comedy cd is a best-seller and won the prestigious Gay and Lesbian American Music Award (GLAMA) for Best Comedy CD. She repeated this feat with her next comedy cd I’m Not Cindy Brady which also won the GLAMA in April of 2000.

Suzanne Westenhoefer plays to sell-out crowds all over North America. She has hosted, performed. And killed at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Suzanne recently headlined with Eric McCormack (Will & Grace) at the famous Improv Club in Hollywood. 


Suzanne is the girl next door and the brazen hussy. A quick-witted personality so her material keeps changing--sometimes on the spot. She loves her audience even as she ribs them. Suzanne makes her home in Los Angeles, and she is currently developing her new special for HBO entitled: TOUR DE FEMME!

John Moses' First Time at StarDome!! March 13-17!

Do you like your comedy with an edge?  If so, John Moses is the comedian for you!  His style has been described as shrewd, raw, and uncompromisingly funny. John has been performing for over 10 years, getting his start at Yuk Yuk’s comedy club in Toronto. John Moses is an equal opportunity offender – his comedy appeals to everyone from the young to the old, from the upstanding citizen to the morally bankrupt.  

With a colorful, dysfunctional family made up of a Jamaican step-mother, a Filipino brother-in-law, among others, it only follows that his material largely consists of edgy topics and humorous tales from his life. Since he comes from such a diverse household giving him a personal perspective on race, he doesn’t rely on hackneyed stereotypes. No. Moses found out which stereotypes were “true” firsthand.

After performing for over 10 years at Yuk Yuk’s comedy club in Toronto, Moses took his act on the road, appearing at colleges and clubs through the United States, Canada, and the UK. 

He writes, produces, and stars in his own short films, and is a favorite at comedy festivals including The Great Canadian Laugh Off and The Boston Comedy Festival. 

Currently, Moses can be heard on Sirius XM Radio’s Raw Dog Comedy channel and will be recording his shows at COMIX for broadcast on Sirius. John’s debut comedy CD “On the Edge”, was named one of the 10 best Comedy albums in 2012 by Laughspin.com.

DeRay Davis is a "don't miss" show at the StarDome Jan 18-20!


Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, comedian-turned-actor DeRay Davis can most recently be "scene" and heard in the blockbuster mega hit 21 Jump Street, Jumping the Broom and his wildly successful Showtime 1 hour Comedy Special, DeRay Davis: Power Play. He lends his voice and writing talent to countless characters on Kanye Wests Albums the BoonDocks and currently on Adult Swims Black Dynamite!

DeRay developed and honed a hip, sardonic, streetwise mentality at an early age and parlayed it smoothly and efficiently into the comedy-club circuit. Davis achieved his career breakthrough at the Laffapalooza Festival in Atlanta, GA, then scored a triple whammy by winning the Comedy Central Laugh Riots Competition and landing covetable spots in the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and the Cedric the Entertainer Festival. Throughout, the comic wove vulgar and droll, yet also telling and deeply personal routines around the subjects of race, poverty, and his challenging experiences growing up in the Windy City projects with a dysfunctional African-American family.


The transition from behind-the-mike spots to movie roles represented a relatively short jump, for most of Davis' early film assignments emphasized the same subject matter as his routines; for example, he played the "Hustle Guy" in Barbershop (2002) and its sequel, Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004), rapper Mario "Fa Real" Greene in the Martin Short comedy Jiminy Glick in La La Wood (2004), and a Jamaican stoner in Johnson Family Vacation (2004). Davis expanded his genre focus with roles in Rupert Wainwright's supernatural horror outing The Fog (2005), and Todd Phillips' comedy remake School for Scoundrels (2006). Subsequent feature assignments include License to Wed (2007), Semi-Pro (2008, as basketball player Bee Bee Ellis), and Imagine That (2009). Life As We Know It and Old Dogs. Davis also appeared on television series including Entourage and Reno 911!, televised comedy revues such as Comedy Central's Premium Blend, and was a Stand Out MVP on Shaq's All Star Comedy Jam Tour.  DeRay is now making the rounds on the tour circuit preparing for his next 1 hour comedy special, Home, Street Home: The Hood Hero Returns.
